Jonathan Sigal has covered soccer in New England since 2016, ranging from youth to the pros. A Rhode Island native, he attended Boston University. You can email him at [email protected] or follow him on Twitter @JonathanSigal.
The Tufts men’s soccer head coach opening wasn’t the first or the only posting that Josh Shapiro targeted in his quest to move into the head coaching ranks. But when 2010 rolled around, the then-Georgetown assistant felt it was the perfect fit — from the Division 3 environment to the location just … [Read more...]
After a lengthy college search process, Molly McFarland committed to Ithaca in the fall of her senior year. The Division 3 school is an ideal destination for the holding midfielder from Sandwich, Mass., who also is a standout for Liverpool FC of Massachusetts’ 1999/2000 NEP team.
Alongside her twin … [Read more...]
For the past six seasons, Brandeis has made the NCAA tournament, advancing to the Final Four in 2016 and 2017. That run has cemented the Judges’ program as one of the best Division 3 programs in New England and one of the ascendant teams in the country.
This legacy enticed Skylah Dias, a soon-to-be … [Read more...]
During preseason of her junior year at Hopkins, a private school in New Haven, Conn., Emily Yin went to shield the ball like she’d done hundreds of times.
It was, as she recalled 18 months later, a routine play. But when an opponent charged through the forward’s leg, she dropped to the ground with … [Read more...]
As a freshman at La Salle Academy, Olivia Freitas heard from her teammates about the possibility of an accelerated path to regular playing time. The opposite, it turned out, was true.
"I had to prove myself and be daring as a varsity player to earn a spot," Freitas said. "My freshman year, our coach … [Read more...]
For as long as Brittany Raphino can remember, she’s relied on her speed and athleticism. Those traits have served her well, too, as she captained Thayer Academy in 2017 to a NEPSAC Class B title and committed to Brown University during the winter of her sophomore year.
But now in the thick of the … [Read more...]
Michael Suski is quick to call 2017 a "crazy year" — and you can’t blame him once he starts to explain why.
Last March, he trained with Dinamo Zagreb. He impressed so much that the Croatian side wanted to sign him. There also was a training stint with the Philadelphia Union’s academy in the spring, … [Read more...]
The club soccer landscape is a complicated one. As elementary a statement as that is, it’s perhaps the simplest way to summarize a growing industry that’s difficult to sort through.
Directors of coaching and technical directors say there’s a landing spot for everyone, but are matters really that … [Read more...]
The praise comes fast and heavy for Nathaniel Cardoza, an All-American and All-New England midfielder bound for UMass.

"He raises his game in the ones that matter the most," said Harkin, who also … [Read more...]
All you have to do is mention "the Indiana house" to NEFC’s 1999/2000 NPL team, and the laughs start. It’s nostalgia for two weeks from the summer of 2017 they’ll never forget, and for good reason. They ended with lifting a U.S. Club Soccer National Cup trophy. What happened before then, though, is … [Read more...]
For roughly the past decade, top-end girls soccer players have called the ECNL home. That status quo was somewhat disrupted this past fall with the inaugural girls Development Academy season, but yet another shift in the youth soccer landscape is coming.
FC Stars of Massachusetts, one of three girls … [Read more...]
The Development Academy scoring leaderboards typically are sprinkled with players from MLS clubs or traditional hotbeds in New York, California and Texas. Seldom, if at any point, do the nation’s top goalscorers call New England home.
